About this episode
O’Shea Jackson Jr. discusses the challenges and experiences of having Ice Cube as a father and his journey in acting and music.
We’ve heard some awkward teen stories - but when your dad is Ice Cube, the stakes are just a little higher. O’Shea Jackson Jr. opens up about the highs, the lows, and the very real downside of having a rap legend for a father - including a short-lived music career…and an even shorter-lived stage name. Since then, he’s gone on to share the screen with Michael B. Jordan, Charlize Theron and Gerard Butler - a journey that somehow all traces back to his kitchen. Plus, we uncover how his entire career might be rooted in a deep hatred of sedimentary rocks…and more, on an all-new, WrestleMania weekend edition of, Teen Beat!
